PALESTINE TEXAS SATURDAYjMERNOON JULY 30 1904
Tlie Corporation Court Is Doing
Practically XoBusinc Income
From This Source Is Small
There were no cases boforo the cor
poration court this morning In com
moting on this fact Oity Secretary
O A Sterno says Palostine certainly
holds the record as an ordorly
city lie quoted his records to provo
his statement For tho month of Jnne
there wero only twentyfour cases be
fore tho court and tho total in fines
and costs for the month was 21220
For July tho record shows twenty
cases and a total in flnos and costs of
31G0 00 Only throo of theso cases
wore fur drunks and two of these
were cases during tho log rolling ex
ercises and wore not residents of Pal
estine This is a good showing for law
and order
In this connection too wo can add
that the county jail is entertaining
only a small number of prisoners and
the record of tho county is equally as
good as that of tho city
Did Business
All Palestine business houses roport
good business during tho log rolling
One merchant declared there was
more trade in that crowd than in four
days of last falls carnival In looking
for a reason ono is bound to admit
that to bo able to trado people must
have money And further theorizing
brings us to this conclusion Nino out
ten of that crowd of visitors came
from the north of us They came
from Jacksonville Arp Troupe Ty
ler Longview and intervening sta
tions the very heart of tho fruit and
truck industry Those crops havo
just been marketed and those sections
mado rich thereby Hence tho money
that our morchanta got from them
ost siclily seasons Tho occasional
use of Prickly Ash Bitters will Insure
vigor and regularity in all the vitalorf
gans
